When I was younger, I watched Mr. Rogers’ Neighborhood quite a bit. I loved the puppets, and the kid-friendly crafts, and the way Mr. Rogers talked so softly at the screen – like he was talking just to me.
Now as an adult, I appreciate what Mr. Rogers did more than ever. I had my daughter watch quite a bit of the series when it was available to stream for free on Amazon (though I’m not sure if it’s still available for free there anymore).
“Tree, Tree, Tree,” was one of the repeating songs on the show. I loved how simple and easy to remember the song was. And this last week, I’ve had the song stuck in my head, so I thought I’d draw a little tree on my iPad.
I know this tree might not look like much. After all, it doesn’t have any color or any leaves or shading or any of the typical details I’d put into a drawing. However, that’s also the best thing about this picture. It’s up to you and your child to finish it!
You can download the tree for free and print it at home via:
Once you have it printed, you could do a few different crafts with it. Here are a few ideas to get you started:
If you have access to marker daubers/dotters, your child can paint the leaves themselves.
These are just a few ways you can decorate this little tree, but don’t feel obligated to stick to them. If you and your kid feel creative, go nuts with it! Just remember to share your ideas and suggestions in the comment section below. You might inspire someone else to make a fun project, too, just like Mr. Rogers and his “Tree, Tree, Tree” song.
